What is the Polycom EagleEye Director? The Polycom EagleEye Director is a Innovative camera technology that delivers a breakthrough, ‘directed’, telepresence experience in every HDX or Group Series environment. Video conferencing is meant to connect people intimately. Unfortunately, many videoconferences feel more like two connected rooms than two groups of people talking directly with one another and really connecting. And this is where the Polycom EagleEye Director really comes into play.

Is the Polycom EagleEye Director Affordable? Yes! Polycom EagleEye Director delivers an affordable and personalized telepresence experience in group meetings. It accomplishes this by intelligently emulating professional video production techniques. The result is direct, intimate communication, and more productive meetings with no remote control or user intervention required. Polycom EagleEye Director: • Is ideal for a wide variety of rooms, from boardrooms to classrooms, giving users an affordable telepresence experience without manual intervention • Automatically locates active speakers and, through simultaneous voice triangulation and face-finding, accurately crops their images in the display • Eliminates disruptive remote control errors by automatically zooming in on the person who is speaking • Is not confined to historic camera tracking limitations like fixed-camera presets or unnatural IR transmitters • Installs quickly and easily to any Polycom room telepresence system with a single, camera-to-codec connection • Makes training more engaging which translates into better retention of information • Speeds user adoption and delivers faster ROI because it is easy to use and produces heightened meeting interactions

Why should I choose the EagleEye Director? The Polycom® EagleEye™ Director changes the face of group video communications by enabling close-up views of every speaker in a video conference, regardless of their location or the number of people in the room. With fully automated camera pan, tilt, and zoom motions, the EagleEye Director resolves the common problem in video conferencing of seeing all participants during a meeting, but not being able to see facial expressions of the person talking. Now, by highlighting, zooming in, and framing active speakers, everyone can clearly see critical facial expressions and read the subtle body language which enables deeper engagement and more effective meetings.

Leveraging patented technology, including voice triangulation, face finding, and an innovative dual-camera configuration, the EagleEye Director delivers breakthrough affordability in personalizing the telepresence experience for every group conference and enables richer communication and more productive meetings. With meeting participants no longer needing to worry about staying in the camera view or interrupting the flow of conversation to handle the remote control, they can spend 100% of their time in meetings focusing on the bigger issue—their business.

Does the Innovative technology delivered by the Polycom EagleEye Director have unmatched value? Yes! With powerful processing technology on board, the EagleEye Director ships ready to be used in conjunction with any of the Polycom® HDX® or Polycom® RealPresence® Group series room telepresence systems and is simple to set up through a single cable connection. An array of seven microphones in the base of the unit allows the EagleEye Director to precisely locate voices in a variety of room shapes and sizes, making it the ideal solution for large conference rooms, class rooms, or board rooms.

How well does the Polycom EagleEye Director Locate, recognize, frame, display people in the room? It does it very well! Beyond advancing the technology, Polycom leveraged deep human factor expertise to optimize EagleEye Director behavior. Once the voice has been located, the EagleEye Director executes facial detection algorithms to determine if the user is speaking to other users in the room or to meeting participants at the far end. The camera will then automatically ‘zoom in’ and position the speaker in the optimal proportion and location in the viewing window. This multi-step process helps ensure that far-end participants always enjoy a high-impact, immersive experience.

A wide-panning radius of the cameras gives users the flexibility to move freely about the room with the confidence that the EagleEye Director will always keep them clearly in view. This is ideal for classrooms and other environments where room layouts may be more challenging.
